TUNGKOL SA EPISODE NA ITO
This week’s episode teases out the imposed value system of capitalism, the impact of resistance, and the audacity it takes to do better.
Our host, Ty White (ZEAL Co-op) is joined by Ryan Sorrell, Founder of the Kansas City Defender, and James Salanga, Co-Executive Director of The Objective, to discuss media ownership and sustainability outside of the foreboding force of capitalism.
We often talk about capitalism as this “big bad”. And, that’s certainly fair. Capitalism has commodified our personhood, labor, relationships, communities, skills, and histories. We are systematically reduced to products, dollars, and cents, harshly divided by how much we own. That’s definitely “big bad” material.
What’s also true is that capitalism requires our participation in all sorts of ways. Ryan and James dig into how newsrooms have historically participated and how their newsrooms are changing that.
